"The concept of responsibility is a necessary fiction. Although socities must hold their individuals accountable for their own actions, people's behavior is largely determined by forces not of their own making."

In the title statement, the speaker holds the contention that the concept of 'individual responsibility' is no existence but a fiction. Moreover, the speaker says that the behaviors of human beings are fundamentally determined by the environment which out of their control. Admittedly, one's actions are deeply influenced by laws, societies, schools and families and other exterior forces;  individual responsibility exists and functions as a significant role to rule people's behaviors as well.

On one hand, the highest social animal as human being is, any individual has his specific role in a certain society. And this specific role gives one social identity and individual responsibility through education in schools and influence of ethical and moral standards. Though some times one would feel that the certain responsibility is obligation from the society and organizations rather than his 'individual responsibility' at first, in most cases, the accountability would presumably become one's own eventually, followed by the final identification of his specific social identity, and then direct one's behaviors without the force from the exterior world. For example, a soldier would think it is his duty to obey the rules without any hesitation; a surgeon would consider healing the patients as his accountability; and a historian would feel it is his responsibility to discover what is behind the historical descriptions. In fact, different careers and roles form diverse individual responsibilities, which result in individuals’ voluntary behaviors.

On the other hand, there are not only specific individual responsibilities in diverse areas but also some fundamental values and accountabilities, which we all human beings cherish. From the moment one can speak or even is born, the society begins to instill the moral and ethical standards, which is so called humanity in every one's mind. The older one is, the deeper influence the humanity would be. When one is just a little child, he would go directly to what he like and claim it. Then when he is old enough, he would realize that it is incorrect and ashamed. And because of the awareness of what is right and wrong, one would probably never do any misdeed again. Actually, humanity is just the common individual responsibility shared by all of us.

However, every one lives in a certain society thereby one's behavior is more or less influenced by forces not of their own making. And to operate normally, every society has its laws, though many times have differences among them. It is true that humanity plays an essential role in ruling individuals' behaviors;  yet laws are necessary. Under the control of laws, people who have little individual responsibility would probably not dare to do any crime in fear of law punishment. Besides laws, for example in school, rules are also an important factor as well as individual responsibility. Nowadays, in most universities, a student who does not pass some certain courses in his four years college life would not get his diploma of bachelor's degree. So even if a student does not like his discipline, or dose not care about his GPA, the pressure of graduating forces him not to playing computer or basketball all the time.

In addition, individual responsibility and forces from outside world have overlapped parts some times. For instance, studying diligently is some hard-working students' individual responsibility as well as the pressure from schools and society.

Generally speaking, it is hasty and incorrect to conclude that the concept of 'individual responsibility' is a necessary fiction. On the contrary, individual responsibility plays an important role which cannot be replaced. However, laws and the exterior force also have their significance as well.  Thus we can not put either of them aside and pay more attention to another

写得很不错呀！标精！这篇文章很多人写，还是你写得最好！语言和内容都很好。

希望大家都来讨论讨论，把这个题目讨论透彻了，以后再有人写就拿这个做样本了。

另外，我感觉到题目中的necessary fiction是一个矛盾的概念，其实necessary一词已经说明了命题人的态度，这个是褒义的，而fiction一词显然又是否定的态度。就是说，对个人责任这个问题，命题人并不是一棒子打死的态度。所以批驳时要注意一下。

This issue sounds sensitive at the first glance. Before fund some researches, government should weigh wether it is worth or not to support so that government utilize the fund effectively. "Money goes where want."

While think deeper, I think it is not absolutely right. We can not forsee a scientific research will produce what kind of consequence at the beginning, maybe at first it shows not veluable, but during the research it leads to another surprised while very useful discoveries. Also, we can not judge a research is worth or not to invest before it has get some process. These researches may follow our radiation before some steps, while then, some unexpected impact make them produce to other conclutoin instead.

In my opinion, I think government can fund scientific researches if it did not show obviously harm to the future and at the same time, government should not neglect the government's obligaton and function to supervise the process of the research. Government can accomplished this by legislation, politic and statistic, moral function by media even can utilize social supervise functoin. Thus, those researches can improve smoothly under government's funding and surpervising simultaniously avoid out of the right trail.

Without government's fund, researches can not get enough equipment and facilities, experiment can not go on fruently, maybe some invaluable vital objects has to be stopped without the support of government, so that the final loss is unestimate. Without government's support, these researches lose the right direct and lack of the administration, standard criterion and necessary confine, they may fall into the trap easily. Without support of the government,consequences can not be clear, whether benefit for the mass or not. So that scientific researches are virtualy limited and lose the chance to get advanced development.

On the contrary, if government will support those researches whether they have a clear consequece or not. It can provied sufficient facilities and conditions for the scientists, so that they will be highly inspired and do more effort to improve their researches. Science and technology will be freely developed and booming science will lead to more benefit for the mass, reflect more profits to the government, so that government will get more fund to put in the scientific objects.

No suppot, no more development. Government should fund any scientific research whose consequences, either medical or ethical, are unclear, but at the same time emphasize the supervising and examing.

QQsugarUID: 136441

的确写的很不错的.
我想说的一点是，关于necessary fiction, 我的看法和paisley 不同,我认为在这里necessary可能不是"必需"的意思,而应该作必然,必定讲. 这样论题才是前后照应的,大家认为呢?

blake_wangUID: 9871

1, i can't agree with you more, QQsugar.
